It was really nice arriving at night to the heaters being on and the lights on above the deck, super cozy, chill vibes. Spent a couple of nights relaxing, walking the dog on the beach and reading. I can highly recommend this stay to others.

We had a lovely weekend break and stay in pekapeka. The accommodation pods were exactly as described and even better than the pics. Super clean accommodation with a large covered deck space. Interesting for anyone with a tiny home architectural interest. Lovely short walk to the beach and all facilities that we needed.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at cosy pods. A heartfelt thank you to you. It felt like home away from home. Only possible suggestion would perhaps be the addition of a microwave. We look forward to visiting again in the near future. n
